| Radicalism: is there any left in the music of today? |
|
Dmitri Kourliandski encourages us to ask this question anew. The Russian lover of tone and noises weaves his sounds into a musical carpet full of surprises. It’s often hard to tell how the voices, machines, playbacks, instruments and other materials, played in various ways, encounter each other in Kourliandski’s world.
On top of this the whole thing is so well done that the listener, guided by the composer, can start to look behind the broken structures and piece them back together of his own accord, provided he has an attentive ear. This collection of pieces is pure excitement. |
